Default Fiberglass Question

Y'all know those tabs (front and rear) that the rocker panel molding attaches to? Does anyone know if anyone makes those? I need 2 - one right front and one left rear. PO bottomed on something and broke them.

I'm well on the way to fabricating repairs but wondered if they might be available absent buying complete fender assemblies.

Thanks,
dw

Hi dw,
I don't think I've seen the tabs availible anywhere.
How necessary are the tabs? Can you get away with out them?
Except for the lower front screw, don't all the rest of the screws mount into the rocker channel?
Regards,
Alan

I could, but the tabs, at least the edge of them, show so I need to replace them.

Hi dw,
As I think about it you're right. I guess you see the tab if you look at angle from the front or rear!
